• Service Level Agreements (SLAs): (For enterprise customers) What level of service is guaranteed by the company?
• Issue Resolution: How effectively does the company resolve customer issues and complaints?

How to Use This Framework for Parsing:

1. Identify Sources: Determine where you ll be gathering information (company website, press releases, news articles, product reviews, competitor websites, financial reports, social media, etc.).
2. Targeted Reading: Read the information with these categories in mind. Look for sentences, paragraphs, or sections that address each of these points.
3. Extract and Organize: Pull out the relevant information and organize it under the appropriate category.
4. Summarize and Analyze: Once you ve collected the data, summarize the key findings and analyze the company/product based on these factors.

By systematically parsing information in this way, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of a company or product s strengths, weaknesses, and overall market position. Let me know if you d like me to elaborate on any of these categories or if you have a specific company/product you d like me to help you analyze!
